Beyhadh Twisted (Ar-ya role reversed)CH - 14 P -4 - Page 3

Authors Note

Hay guys... hope the chapter was ok... not sure if I have expressed this but I am working on my writing skills and expression possibility after a very long time. I am at times little doubtful if people read or not due to lack of responses. Then I see the view count but one thing I am determined to finish this and the other because some how I feel I keep leaving stuff incomplete or delete what I write due to fear of rejection and never post it in public forums...

So please do answer with your feelings... you liked something mention it. Need not be the characters action it could even be the dress or the make up... just say it... any ways Chapter 12 is huge so setting it in bits. It's majorly a view of how all of them are after to Ar-Ya marriage and only after that will I bring the story of how Ashwin and Shipra ended up getting killed. Those fans of the meherothra family don't worry more more more such incidents to come till end of the story. Also... next chapter onwards a few A jokes types are going to be there but watered down only hope my id does not get deleted.

Saw view count went up around 10 points hope someone is reading...

Daily routine continued...

As the sun's rays poured into the room of Maya Meherothra she continued to sleep, wrapping herself further in the silverish cream set with beautiful large petal peach prints all over it. She sunk her head further onto the matching cushions making all efforts to cut of the light from her face. Arjun walked into Maya's room dressed in a pair of cream shorts with blue diamonds printed all over it. His hair was all over the place and it was clear he had just got of his own bed. Seeing her still asleep he sighed and gently shook her, "Maya...

"Thodi dher aur sone do Arjun. she muttered making great efforts to not do so, till he sat on the bed leaning against the cushions. Shifting her physically he made her lean against his chest as she continued to keep her eyes closed. "Little bit longer Arjun.

"Teek hai... he sighed his nose burying itself in her loosely braided hair as opposing arms encircled her waist while the other began stroking the back of her ear gently. "Aaj kuch khaas din hai kya?

"Aaj kya hoga? Hmm kuch designers se milna padega, vo apni desighns india main launch karna chahathe hai. I want to get that contract, hmm upar se agle mahene ka topic bhi thai karna padega. Saath saath team bhi thai karna hoga. Aur kya hai umm accounts check karna padega. Hmm you tube ka kaam bhi hai, video shoot karna hoga. Scripting karvadhiya, Filomena karlungi outfit ka kaam lekin nazar tho rakna padega. Hmm... aur kya karna hai? Haan tumhare saath ek meeting hai na, models fixing ke liye. Phir models ko aproch karna padega ya phir nayi models ke liye hunt karenge. Hmm phir ek aur meeting hai sab ke saath - quarterly report dhena hai. And I am up, main brush karke aathi hoon.

Arjun followed her inside the bathroom. The design was simple with the sea blue bathtub with several pebbles painted on the ground.

The design was simple with the sea blue bathtub with several pebbles painted on the ground of the bath tub. The floor was covered with brownish tiles. The walls in natural' tiles all over giving the feel that they were walking into a cave... on an extended' platform with the slide glass covered cupboards under was a large flat sink. On the side of the sink was everything she needed for any day starting from pouch-n-zip vanity kit to the deodorants and perfumes. Opening it he pulled the electric tooth brush out of it's charger, toothpaste and a glass. First filling the glass with cold water he changed to hot on the dual handle sink before placing a little toothpaste on it. Finally handing her soft white towel he added, "Ten minutes. Aur haan muu pochne ke liye towel use karna.

Maya nodded and began brushing as he went out. Ten minutes later she walked out to find her bed made and first two sets of clothes for the day ready, "Yeah Arjun bhi na.

Picking up the dark green tracks with the white t-shirt she quickly pulled her hair into a ponytail using the band he had left out. "Maya ready?

"Ready. Chalo. she replied turning around seeing him already dressed in a cream tracks with a green tshirt. The mangalsutra the only jewellery she wore! Smiling he took her hand in his leading her into the kitchen, "Aaj kya banane vale ho?

"Hmm breakfast ke liye phulka, mutton kurma aur suji ka halva bana rahi hoon. Rajma chaval, jeera, pudhina raitha, salad, pappad for lunch. Dinner ke liye bread chalega? Fruits ke saath. Kuch aur chahiye? she asked switching on the coffee, "Nahi, lunch ke baadh ice-cream?

"Mangva sakthe hai kya? she asked taking the ingredients for the day, he nodded and began making the coffee as she began chopping. Soon she was setting the electric rice cooker with several dishes inside while Arjun washed their coffee mugs. "Salad tho hum last main bana denge?

"Sure. Kithna waqth ka delay timer dalna hoga? she asked, "Fifteen minutes.

The exercise and jogging routine was always the same. Manny girls giggling over Arjun while several of Maya's fans looked at her. Both of them though were fixed on something else, Maya about a new business venture idea of launching a fashion show with new-bees on a topic while Arjun fixated on Maya. "Are you sure, risk kaafi bada hai issmain?

"Tho event banakar risk ka equal sponsoring ka kaam lelenge. Let us go out of the box, sponsors ko fashion ki duniya main dundnge nahi balki fashion designing related logon ke paas jayenge. Garments company, accessories designs you know the accessible stuff. Come on it will be fun. she added as Arjun looked at her skeptically, "Fine, put it across the team. Dhekthe hai, fruits chahiye?

Going to the vendor she chose some fruits and began placing them in the tray as both asked about his family, at one point she asked, "Please, kya hum kiwi bhi le sakthe hai?

She asked, he nodded pulling out the wallet and bright green foldable shopping bag for the man to pack everything! "Arjun tumhare liye mixed fruits jam banadhu aaj? Tume pasandh hai na?

"Agar problem nahi hai tho banadhdo. She smiled as she felt his arms wrap around her shoulders and secured her walk. "Aab kiska call hai? Hello inspector Pratham good morning aap ithni subah? Oh... Umm thanks sir... Umm no thank you... Oh are you sure? Oh... umm when was this? All right thank you. I will update Arjun thank you. Sorry... Pratham, case main kuch ajeeb... ajeeb updates tha. He just wanted to tell me that they are really working through it. Also the same savdhan rehena kyunki meri lack of security ek bahoth bada concern hai unke liye.

"Nariyal pani pekar seedha ghar. Teek hai? he added smiling she nodded... once they went home she began sweeping and mopping the few rooms they were actually using while he helped her by doing whatever chosen activity for the day was... dusting, vacuuming, window cleaning, door cleaning, glass cleaning or whatever was needed. The background was always the same, the news. When finished he gently lead her to the bathroom setting the water temperature, "Five minutes Maya. Pani ka temperature change math karna.

"Yes Arjun. she replied and waited as he stepped out. The clothes she wore were tossed out and the bathroom door closed. Picking them up he pressed them to his face in reverence, the sense which was completely her filled his senses, "Kabh main tume aise pakad paunga Maya. Kaab?

Sighing, he moved out with clothes still draped across his body. Unaware of what he was doing with her clothes Maya walked out dressed in a loose knee length white nightshirt a white towel wrapped around her head and went straight to the mandhir, kneeling down she gently lit the lamp, the incense and the loban dhoop cones. Closing her eyes she prayed for a minute closing her eyes in reverence before picking up the loban dhoop and taking it around the whole house. The memories of how Shipra used to do this every single day rushed through her mind... she also remembered the first day she saw her do it.

A nine year old girl was sitting on Ashwin's lap reading the newspaper after breakfast, Shipra was dressed in a simple brown-mustard shaded chicken work saree with white embroidery works. She was not ready for the day but her hair was left open to dry, "Sxhipra aise kyun karthe ho? Vo fumes ko pura ghar par kyun dhikathi ho?

"Kyunki bache isse na aachi kushbi milthi hai aur choti choti insects jo poisonus hai vo chala jayega. Usually yeah saab breakfast ke pehele karna chahiye, lekin Ashwin coffee nahi peethe hai tho hum saab jaldhi kalethe hai na. Issiliye breakfast ke baadh karthi hoon. Shipra replied patting the girl on her cheeks. The memory and the cotton style clothing, neither had changed but the spreading hand and the time had! Returning the holder back to place she went into the kitchen and began working on the left over lunch and breakfast humming the tune as the music played in the background. Just as she finished Arjun walked into the kitchen dressed in a dull green trousers with a cream rolled up sleeves' shirt and a silkish green vest with vine and forest prints all over it. Holding two sets of sox in his hand he healed them up for Maya, "Kaunsi?

"Green with cream spots, uske saath cream loafers pehenlena. she added, "Aur dusrrei watch pehen sakte ho kya the one with roman numerals, multiple dials and complete gold usko pehensaakthe ho kya?

"Sure Maya. he agreed leaving as the washing machine called forth saying the load was washed. Ignoring it she continued to finish cooking.

Once he got ready he moved towards her parents altar praying to them first before opening the silver bird like kumkum holder taking a pinch of Sindoor. Going back into the kitchen he applied a pinch of Sindoor on her forehead. She touched her right hand to her chest as he did it then bent down and touched his feet, he pressed his palm onto her head in blessings. A routine she followed since that day!

Slowly feeding her the meal he ate of the same plate too. Sighing he insisted feeding her another mouthful, "Maya, come on thoda sa aur kaana padega. Come on, muukolo.

"Arjun... kyun muje har meal muje khilane main insist karthe ho? she asked looking into his eyes, "Kyunki muje patha hai, thabi tum teek se kaathi ho. Now last one.

"Thank you. she whispered, "Bhas Arjun... Main kapde suka dhethi hoon.

As she dried the clothes on the back balcony on the clothes hanger. It was always the same from Monday to Friday, the top load machine had been used as a segregator - small clothes, big clothes. Then she would set all the small clothes on the small layer underneath, the big clothes on the two extensions above. Had she worn a saree she would pull down the hanger on the roof and set it back up again. Again, the routine stayed the same but the hands had changed. He knew that was the pain she was going through everyday despite having crossed two years. When he came to try finding her, she came back inside the house lighting the lamp in the alter of her parents. "Maya, thiyar hona hai chalo.

Taking her hand he lead her into her room where he had laid out her clothes. A long red and black checked pencil skirt with a white sleeveless, wide close necked top. As she changed into it he pulled out the accessories for it - a short gold chain with red coral roses all over it. Along with it a pair of dark coral rose earrings. She stood in front of the mirror adjusting her top... the colour of her red nail polish matching the coral roses perfectly.

Walking over to her he pushed her nearly dry hair away from her neck before slipping the chain around her neck, takeing a minute to touch the mangalsutra, as she applied the make up. A dark wide layer of red eye shadow and a thick layer of eyeliner. Finishing with a little peach lipgloss. "Side parting banadungi?

"Main banadunga tum baki pehenlo. He added slowly brushing her hair as she slipped on a delicate gold watch and a simple chain bracelet on the other. "Perfect. Hamesha ke tharaha.

"Office chale? Yaa phir aise hi bathroom main baitne ki iradhe hai? he shook his head, "Chalo, Maya next week kuch naya locations par shoot hai. Tum chalogi na mere saath?

"Kyun? Tum kudh chalo na. Meri kya zarurath? she asked, "Waise bhi aap tum photographer nahi partner ho. Tumhare hothe hue koi orgy nahi chalayenge.

"Baath orgy ki nahi hai Maya. Tum saath ho tho aacha lagtha hai. he added, taking her hand in his and pressing it to his lips. Sighing she nodded, "Teek hai tumhari saath chalthi hoon.

Smiling he hugged her tightly, closing his eyes to enjoy the feeling. "Thank you Maya. Thank you so much.

Hugging him back she stayed silent, unsure of how to deal with the situation once again. Letting her go he took her hand in his as the left the home grabbing his black sling bag and their lunch bag, handing hers to her. "Chale? Office? Ya phir kai aur jaane ka maan kar raha hai?

"Office tho jana padega. Ithna saara kaam hai. she laughed, pulling him out the door stopping to pull on her white ankle hugger heels. "Your car?

"Obviously, jeep main hum donon ke baal tho bilkul karab hojayega. she teased, rolling his eyes he handed her the keyes, "Drive muje kuch emails dhekna padega.

"Tum na bas ek blue tooth kareedhlo meri thara aur kaam hojayega. Saab kuch dictate karsakthe ho, walking karthe waqth ya phir bathroom main. she teased locking the door behind them, "Mere ithna bhi bure din nahi aaye ke main bathroom par bhi kaam karun. Vahaan par kuch aur kartha hoon. he teased making her smile fade, "Its ok Maya jab tum muje apane ke liye thiar ho thab apnalena. Lekin aab office, teek hai?

The routine continued... they walked into office formally wishing everyone good morning. Then the work started with her in her cabin and him in his... to a common viewer acting like a clock watcher. Reality though was a different story - meeting after meeting kept bombarding her time. Alarm after alarm hitting his! By the time the clock hit eleven both their phones rang with an alarm, Maya picked her land line and pressed for, "Riya - eleven fifteen meeting is confirmed right?

"Yes ma'am conference room two is ready, guests will be arriving in ten minutes. Arjun said he will join you after finishing the proof reading. Maya hummed in agreement as she simultaneously gulped the water in one go, "Great thank you. Alright mere cabin main pani bijwadho, aur haan minutes of the meeting need to be sent to S & N Enterprises. If you don't mind can you wait till we create a game plan? Once you create the formal documents we can send them together.

"Yes ma'am. came the reply form Riya. The meeting began with both Arjun and Maya welcoming the designers with flowers and formalities and finished close to one o clock. Sighing Maya walked into his cabin followed by Arjun who grabbed a glass of water and pressed it to her lips. Drinking the whole thing in one gulp she sighed and leaned against him. His hands went on her back gently rubbing circles onto it. "Pehele ice cream phir lunch?

"Pehele lunch phir icecream. Lets hit the iron when it is hot. Kuch background ideas hai tumhare paas? he asked taking out their lunch bag on the side table setting the food out. "Hmm...

Soon through lunch they finalized how to deal with the work and a time plan. Maya doing the noting on the whiteboard, occasionally clicking a picture of what was written on her phone while Arjun fed both of them the lunch. "Aand done. So that's the plan for now main Riya ko photos bijwathi hoon she will get it in a formal documentation for us. Aab ice cream chale?

"Sure. he smiled pressing Riya's number in the intercom, "Riya hum brake le rahe hai. We have sent you some pictures usko formal documentation karvadhe. You are a doll babes. Keep up the good work. Maya - kaunsi ice cream chahiye?

"Hmm - kulfi, badham vali. he rolled his eyes and took her to her favorite spot for kulfi watching as she ate like a child. It was moments like these that he could see the real deal, childlike and sweet. "Tume kulfi ithna kyun pasand hai?

"Kyunki kulfi mere liye meri bhai sa aur babhi ma ke beech jo rishtha tha uski symbol thi. Jaab bhi bhai sa aur babhi sa ki ladayi jojathi thi tho muje bijwathe the babhi ko kulfi ke liye bulane. Babhi ma muje kabhi na nahi kehethi thi tho mere saath chalthi thi... babhi ma pistha kulfi kaathi thi aur main badham vaali aur shuru kahani. Jo bhi narazgi thi babhi mujse vent karthi thi aur bhai sa chup chup ke sunthe the, jaise humare kulfi katham hojathi thi bai sa babhi ma ke liye ek rose lakar dhethe the apni puppy dog eyes ke saath. Tho bas babhi ma ki maafi miljathi thi, aur laday katham, phir donon milkar muje chat kilana lejathe the. Main aalu tiki order karthi thi, bhabhi ma vada pav mangwathi thi aur bhai sa apni favorite paneer samosa mangwathe the aur hum saab share karke kathe the. Aur bhabi ma aur bhai sa chai pethe the aur muje duudh pilathe the. Aur ek saath saal ki ladki ke liye shayadh vo ek bahoth badi baath thi.

"Umar kya tha tumhara bhai ka? he asked after thinking for a minute Maya answered, "Bhai sa the around twenty to twenty one. Babhi ma, hmm same.

"Oh, sorry Maya I need to take this. Arjun tossed his kulfi stick into the dustbin as Maya continued to enjoy hers, "Arjun Sharma. Yeah - umm ok... Sure. I will see you around thank you. By! Office ka call tha, we need to go.

The rest of the day dragged on between them in meetings, shoots and more till finally it was time to go home. Once they entered she kicked of her shoes and sat on the couch rubbing her feet, while Arjun went inside. Soon he came back out dressed in a light brown and dark brown army shirt with plane shirt with light brown cotton kaki three fourths, "Maya your bubble bath is ready. Jao fresh hojao thab thak main bread aur fruits thiyar kar letha hoon.

Nodding Maya left when Arjun went into the kitchen and began setting the yeast for the bread. He had finished mixing it placing it inside the bread maker when she walked back into the kitchen dressed in a white sweater, a white tank top inside revealing itself as the sweater moved down one sleeve, and dark blue pyjama bottoms with light blue hearts all over it. Her hair was left open and clearly just blow dried and the lack of makeup captured his eyes more. As she ran her hand through her forehead he smiled a little bit, "Nail polish bhi nikal dhiya?

"Hmm... how is the bread coming? she asked, "Give it a couple of hours, chai?

"Banathi hoon. she replied taking out a vessel to start making tea, "Arjun oven ke andhar kuch masala bisckets hai, can you please get them? Maine aaj subah hi bake kiya.

"Sure... hmm rice powder use kiya? she nodded as he smiled more enjoying the cookies, "Wow, aur kya oh cashew bhi hai? Excellent babu tumhare haathon main ja jaadu hai.

Ignoring the name she handed him a hot mug of tea picking up some cookies herself as music began playing in the background. Eyeing her from above the rim he watched from his position, seated on the kitchen counter as her eyes closed sipping the hot drink bit by bit. Gently pulling her by the hand he began rubbing his neck with a free hand as both finished the cookies and tea between them. It was moments like these that he relished as the smell of her shampoo filled his lungs and the sense of her skin on his palms. Like always it ended too quickly as she pulled away saying, "Jao movie select karo main dish washer clear karke aathi hoon.

"Sure - kal chola puri? he asked, "Breakfast ke liye?

"Yeah aur agar lunch ke liye aap ki haath ka prawn fry with jeera pulaw mil sakthi hai kya? he asked thinking for a second she nodded, "Red pumkin hai, halwa bhanadun?

"Perfect. Tho dinner ke liye ragi ka upma banadhethe. Aur fruit smoothie bhi. Maya gave a smile and nodded as she set the dishes from the dishwasher into their right places. "Maya main soch raha tha kyun na hum kuch naya series dheke. Umm Bones is ok with you?

"Yeah sure. She nodded as she set the bread in the oven, soon they sat watching a the show as the bread baked. Arjun began switching on the tv as she walked in with a tray holding it all, the cut fruits, the fresh baked bread, honey and the fresh white butter. Setting it in front of Arjun they settled in the couch with great comfort watching the shows and eating their dinner. At the end Maya picked up the dishes and set them in the dishwasher. When she returned Arjun had set up the chess board sitting on the sofa, she sat on the ground opposite to him and made the first move. Soon, "Check mate, maine phir se tumko haradhiya.

"Phir se. he laughed, "Maya raath bahoth hogayi hai, chalo tumhare liye duudh garam kartha hoon. Cinnamon milk chalega?

Again Maya nodded and took her hand again leading her to the kitchen. Inside the kitchen she once again cleared the dishwasher when he began boiling the milk. Filling it in two glasses he handed her one drinking the other himself. "Aaj kaunsi kahani sunaogi muje?

"Raavan ka, Ravan ka kuch aise kahaniyan hai jo zyadha logon ko nahi patha hai. Tume aaj na main Raavan ka janam ka kaaran ke baare main bathaunga. he replied as she washed the dishes, lifting her up bridal style he began the story. "Raavan aur uska chota bhai kumbkaran dhonon Vishnu ke gate keepes the thab brama ki chaar beton ne unse milne ke liye aaye the. Lekin gate keepers ko unko andhar jaane ke liye nahi dhe paye, thabi baathon baathon main gusse main aakar undonon ko shrap mil gayi. Apna saara powers ko chod kar unko janam lena padega. Thab bagvaan Vishnu ne aakar brham puthron ko samjaya ki...

The story continued on and by the time they reached the bedroom with the slow walking she was fast asleep. Laying her on the bed he kissed her gently and tucked into the bed tightly, "Lagtha hai aaj bahoth thaki hui thi. Issi liye bed se paonchne se pehele sogayi. Varna meri godh main hi sothi ho na... I love you Maya.

Whispering it gently he kissed her forehead and left the room, going to his own room he lay back on the light pink and white based bedding set. The comforter had his favorite geometrical-symmetric pattern. The room itself was simple with cream cupboards all over one wall and a large window on the opposite wall. The center one had a tv set in such a way that he could see it from bed. A book shelf on the corner of the bed. Laying on the bed he switched on the tv and connected the pen drive after setting a timer to ensure it's off. Then it began series of videos all centering around only one person... Maya. Maya as she cooked baingan ka bartha. Maya as she worked at her office. Maya as she played with lego blocks. Maya as she was reading. Many more videos continued to play of her till she finally fell asleep, the last being Maya taking class for the children in the ashram. Everything and anything only Maya and Maya alone...

Re written

There was a single photo hanging on the wall surrounded by several newspaper clippings. It was a nine year old Maya's photo a dressed in a silk sleeveless, pleated white gown which flared out till her feet. The top half was plane but set off with a light pink, half sleeve vest. Her hair was neatly set a white velvet headband. Her feet had cute little white shoes and she was standing happily as she stood on the bench of the park. A multiple row pearl necklace around her neck. Light cream slip on heels finishing her dress. Her arms were on her lap holding one of Maya's hands pushing the layered pearl bracelet a little behind. Her bare feet were set with one flat the other across! A hand touched the stunning and large photo of her.

Behind her stood a man much older than her... His features similar to Ashwin but more clear and gentile, dresses in a dark green trousers with cream pinstripe trousers and a similar green evening jacket with a twenties, dressed in black jeans with a white shirt and a black neckerchief with light green, red, pink, yellow spots all over it. His arm around on Maya's waist keeping her in balance as turned her head to give him a cheek on his kiss, a smile on his face. A water fountain with several beautiful light works were in the background. A large hand kept trailing the photo not looking at any other photo on the wall. The owner of the hand wore a gold and platinum bracelet in his hand, the platinum band had the word Maya written in gold... The word he pressed to his lips, "Kithna thadppayenge uske liye Shivay? Muje kithna thadpaogi?

The man turned around revealing pale features against cat like eyes and short, thick almost military hair with an kept short beard. He was dressed in a navy blue polo t-shirt and cream jeans a cream neckerchief with blue spots all over it, "Jaab thak vo puri thara safe nahin hothi. Babhi ho uski ma nahi.

"Babhi ma hoon uski. Ma se bhi zyadha par karthi hoon. You know her husband is obsessed with her, vo uska kyal rak payega saare saach boldethe. Snapped, a lady dressed in dark blue jeans with a beautiful river flowing style of printing all over it in different shades of pink and blue. Her dark clear skin set appart her large eyes and fairly thinner nose and lips, as her slightly highlighted dark brownish and caramel mixed hair fell into a styled perfection. The choice of a natural make up with the darkened eye shadows and dark brown lipstick made her look beautiful despite the tears filled eyes. "I love her as much as you do please bas use her vaapas lekar ayenge Arjun ko bhi. Please!

"Agar tum uski Anika ho tho main uski Shivay. You know we can't hume dhuur se hi dhekne ki ijazat hai. the man insisted, "Khab thak?

"Jab thak further instructions nahi milthe. Samay gaya hai na london main unlogon ke pardha fash karne let him get back. she shot back, "When will he? Paanch saal se vo vahaan par hai lekin gudiya par vaar ki karan aab thak nadhi mili.

As if on cue a call came, "Samay any news?

"Come on Video call I pad. Came the reply, the man sat down onto an white and gold ornamental sofa switching on the ipad, while she sat down next to him. "Yeah Samay any news?

"Jithna humne socha usse bhi dus guna zyadha bura nikla. They won't stop till they get Maya on that alter. the two of them sighed as the guy on the other side of the camera ran a hand through his long hair at the top of his head. The rest was chopped short, revealing the slightly stiffened features with his light skin and blunt features except for the sharp eyes. The eyes which were always the gateway to the soul, especially his. The lack of shirt showed he was indeed built up but what really caught the attention of those who he was speaking to was the pictures in his hand. Pictures of age old parchments, documents, photos of writings on stones in different old languages and more, "Check this out. Uski koi purani painting hai.

"Yeah tho Maya ki thara lag rahi hai. Samay sighed in frustration, "Exactly, unlogon ka maana hai ki Maya uski koi descendent hai. Aur chalthe hai ki uski isthimal karke vapas us priestess ko zindha karvadhe.

"Yeah science fiction hai ya phir horror story. Aur kab se peche pade hai? Shivay asked, "There is more to that yeah log kafi generic engineering aur microbiology par kam karthe hai. They are powerful!

"Aise hi chaltha rage tho samjo hogaya. Koi information kab Maya par vaar karne ki koshish? Anika asked worried, "Bilkul nahi jab thak Arjun Maya ke saath hai uski bal bhi chuna na mumkin hai aab thak almost five trained kidnappers ko Arjun ne udadhiya aur Maya ko khabar thak nahi hui. Kai bahar kaane ke liye chalthe hai tho security ke saath, upar se Maya ko apni plate se kilatha hai. Uupar se coat ya vest par ek pocket hotha hai jismain lime juice hai. Behoshi ki koi bhi dhava asar nahi kartha. Ithna security ke saath aaj thak ek bar bhi uski paas nahi pahonch paye hai. Lekin Maya ko kuch nahi boltha.

"Shayah usse saach bolna hoga. I will try fix a meeting, yahan par kaam almost katham hua jo details ghadher karna padega. Uske baadh kya kare uske baadh dhekthe hai. Ithni thaki hui kyun lag rahi ho tum donon?

"Kaafi badi research ka kaam par atke hue the. Its got a little out of control. Upar se office ka related kaam bhi tha ek - ek karke teek karna thoda mushkil hogaya. Shivay smiled and nodded, "It's just a matter of time. I am sorry tum logon ko iske andhar keench liya. Listen Maya is still trying to trace you Saanj. Uski detective ko tumhari office ka address dhe dhiya hai expect her some time. Vo Arjun se chupkar tumse milne aane ki koshish karegi. Be prepared, gun tho hai na haath par?

"Yeah. they replied together, Anika pinched Shivay lightly, "Kabhi tho dosth ke thara baath karo. Dhikay nahi dhe raha hai kya donon date night ke thiyari main hai.

"Kya date night - oh sorry tumhari kapdon ko nahi dheka maine. Jao jao umm protection tho hai na tum donon ke paas dhek agar maya ko patha chala ke tum donon shadhi se pehele hi... tho tum logon ki choti choti tukdhe kar legi.

"Jaantha hoon. Already paranoid hain hum donon. joked Saanj, as Samay began rubbing the arm around her in light circles, her arm settling around his waist. "Just make sure tum donon careful ho Maya na shadhi ki planning kafi dhuum dham se karna chahegi. Aur pet dhikne ko ek vajay nahi manegi, zid karegi ki bache ke baadh shadki karlo. Bilkul choti si bachi ki thara. Samay and Maya both laughed, "Usse pehele Maya ko is baath ka yakeek dhen hoga ki main koi galath kaam nahi kiya uske saath. Bas halath aise the.

"Hum dhedhenge. Stop freaking out. assured Saanj as Anika and Shivay waved to them, "Enjoy.

"So just as they were saying date night shuru kare? Saanj raised her eyebrows shifting her legs on his lap, "Date night ko pura date night karna hai ya phir kuch hair karna hai?

"Dinner tho banadhenge pehele. Bahoth bhuuk lagi hai. he smiled and got up, inside the kitchen they quickly began working on the dinner of garlic bread, shell pasta vegetable soups, chicken rice and caramel ice cream. Chatting away as the cooking went on finally setting the meal down onto the table neatly before sitting to eat in front of the T.V watching a movie. The night went on as Saanj got up to set the dishes in dishwasher bringing a large comforter with her wrapping it around them as Samay shifted sofa into a bed allowing them to slowly dose of into a deep sleep.

Unaware of their relationship two people landed in London Airport... Arjun and Maya. Arjun was dressed in a set of brown set of tracks and jacket with a dark brown thsirt. The office bag slung from one shoulder to another under the jacket with white running shoes. Maya walked next to him dressed in black three fourths tracks with a white tshirt. Her hair tied up in a ponytail, the white flats she wore completing the outfit. His hand tightly holding hers as the other dragged a large black suitcase behind them."Ek bahoth zaruri kaam. Ithni tention kyun le rahe ho? Trust me.

"Trust nahi kartha kal ticket book karke aaj lekar aayi ho main tho chup chap tumhare saath aaya hoon na. replied Arjun pushing a stray hair behind her ear as she smiled and looked down, "Maya... umm... Maya.

Looking up at him she raised her eyebrow waiting for a reply, "Kya baath hai Maya?

"Coffee pina hai tume? Bhuuk lagi hai na. she sighed, "Coffee nahi please cappachino piyenge.

"Maya tume patha hai na ke tume empty stomach main chocolate mana hai. Coffee or tea? sighing she pouted before finally answering, "All right coffee. Saath main kuch aur bhi chahiye.

"Jo miltha hai use se kaam chalana padega. she nodded with a prout still on her face, "Drama queen khan par book kiya.

Soon both were settled into the room, "Change tho karne dhoge na muje?

"Please sogaye the na aab tho thiyar hokar chalthe hai na. she muttered, handing her a toothbrush he pushed her into the bathroom.

Unaware of someone getting ready to see her Saanj got off the sofa couch and began the routines for the day. Samay was already in the kitchen working through breakfast, lunch and starting dinner. She quickly set their clothes for laundry and had a bath herself, coming in the yellow bathrobe with thick floral printing she continued to wipe her hair with a towel. Sniffing into the air she hugged Samay from the back as he continued to mix a dough, "Hmm yummy gobi ka parata, tomato, ginger, garlic mixed chutney upar se mint butter milk bhi? Dinner ke liye kya bana rahe ho?

"Tumhari favorite pizza. he replied earning a kiss on the back of his neck, "Wine lekar aathi hoon.

"Sounds perfect. he replied turning a paratha on the thava, "So tonight is the second right?

"Yeah day after set kardhe? she asked moving away counting the days from the X she had crossed on the calendar hanging on the kitchen wall, "Sure. Chocolate ke siva koi special requests?

"Hmm no crazy foods. she replied as he came and wrapped his arms around her waist kissing her ear lightly whispering, "Sure, I could just eat it off you.

"Tho dinner bahar? she requested, "Perfect. Umm short dresses pehen paogi na?

"Ofcorse. Kithni short chahiye? she asked he ran his hand on a spot of her thighs showing how short he wanted it she replied with a thumbs up, "Done. Aab khana kaale ya phir aise hi towel main gumne ki iradha hai?

Laughing he moved away as she set the table allowing their lunch to cool enough to pack the news running in the background. The table was far from small and cozy but they sat closer to each other, eating in a comfortable silence noting a few points on the open ipad when the news reader mentioned it. Soon he left to get dressed for the day as she cleared the table... leaving to change herself.

Arjun was soon dressed in a simple dark blue shirt with a few vertical stripes in various shades of blue on either side combined with a light blue jeans, a silver base belt and dark blue sports shoes. A white vest thrown on top of the office bag swung across his shoulder. His hand holding Maya's tightly as she gripped his back the other loosely holding his as she continued to chatter away. She was dressed in a long yellow t shirt with red an orange block prints and white jeans finished with a light white flats. Her hair was mostly left open with a side parting but a few strands pinned up with hair pins. A small gold earrings with the mangalsutra around her neck. A dark brown eye shadow behind her eyes with dark eyeliner and light cream lipgloss. "Breakfast karne chale?

Maya nodded, once they were out she began chattering away about everything she wanted for breakfast. "Ithna kathi rahogi tho samjo tumhara figure gayab.

"Figure tho kuch nahi hoga. Work out tho karvathe ho mujse, aab muje kuch kiladoge yaa phir aise hi? laughing Arjun took her to the dining area and fed her a proper english breakfast. "Chalo aab tho bolo kahaan jaana hai.

"Tumhari dosth se milne. Just a few streets away... chalo. Maya dragged him away and hailed a cab a large smile on her face. Stopping in front of an office she waited for the someone' to arive while Arjun continued complain about the wait, "Aagayi there she is come on chalo... Saanj. Saanj!

Arjun's face filled with shock as one more person's face did the same. A thousand emotions ran across his mind as the words she had spoken to him in their last meeting ran across his ears. "I love you Arjun. Bachpan se tumse pyar karthi hoon. Saab ko patha hai, aur vo lehenga material jisko aunty ne kareedha vo humare shadi ke liye tha. Issiliye Vandhana aunty aur Suman ne ithna over react kiya. I am sorry. Maya meri vajay se ithna bada apman... vo bhi jab uske saath!

Saanj... she turned around to find them there. The Maya and Arjun... their hands linked into each other but only her smile bright. It felt like a ton of bricks hit her but no matter what everyone would have thought it was not because of seeing him but her. Nothing prepared her for the moment she dragged him over and squeezed her in a tight hug, "I missed you. Arjun tum kade kuun ho tume apne dosth ko hug nahi karna kya?

Maya... Maya had brought her duffer over to see her. The very same Maya who had to face the greatest insult on the day she became the bahu of Sharma family... the memory still gushed through her mind. There was nothing about them that resembled that of a bride and groom except for the large splash of kumkum in her maang. Her eyes were red from all the crying, she was still dressed in the beautiful light pink art silk saree silver and maroon thread work... Her eyes though lost the shine it had in the morning... the neat folding had somehow gone away with the loss of the waist belt. The bangles she wore were crushed under the force of grip and the other with the watch had clearly been destroyed and bleeding. It was wrapped in the handkerchief which was tied inside the car long ago... her hollow eyes senseless against disheveled hair... The combined strength of both Saanj and Arjun combined to hold her up as an upset Vandhana took the Aarthi. Aayan though managed the situation by setting the aarthi thali for her and lighting the lamp both the friends had missed the cold glare both the mothers were handing the poor girl. Before any details could be shared though... rather two minutes after Arjun and Saanj set foot with Maya inside the house a phone call took them away. "Maya aap yahi par rukiye, hum donon aabhi aathe hai. Papa aap aur Aayan police ke saath chaliye. Duffer tum mere saath Mr. Malkani ki office thak chalo, hume sari details police ko bathana hoga aur office ko bhi sambhalna hoga. Aunty, Suman aap donon please Maya ka khyal rakiye. Sorry Maya we have to go.

Those were the words they departed quickly... When they returned the sight in front of them shocked all of them mostly her. Maya was no longer in the hall nor was she disheveled... she was dressed in the beautiful white blouse with a orange lehenga and a duppata set with orange in the centre white on either side set over her face like a gunghat. Despite which her pale face set with the gold glitter eye shadow and the light red lipgloss shone across. Her hands hand had been sent with the orange and white thread work bangles Shub had got her, around her neck were the matching necklace... What really scared her was the position in which Maya was sitting - knees folded and bent forward, hands resting on her knees as elbows folded towards her chest. A position typically set for the suhagraat... Worst she was on Vandhana aunty's bed, decorated with several white flowers. The light was off and candles had been lit all over! The very same candles they had bought to decorate Shanthi spot for her birthday celebration. Despite the entire look of it and her physical position the way she was shivering was crystal clear. Numb in pain and shock she had simply left the place... even when she finally apologised it was to Arjun. Never having the guts to meet Maya ever... today the same girl was speaking to her as if nothing had happened.

"Y-yeah. Hi duskey kaisi ho? he asked wrapping his arms around her in a hug before pulling away and taking in the sight of her. She was dressed in a simple long flowing red skirt with black block prints and a black sleeveless top with a black vest. Her hair was left open with the light red eye shadow and pink lipgloss with the extra dark eyeliner... there was nothing about his duskey in that woman. "You look stunning tum yahan par kaam karthi ho kya?

"Yeah... suna ke tum fashion in the city par kaam kar rahe ho. Saanj replied unsure about how to go away from there, "Actually ek meeting hai aaj...

"Koi meeting nahi hai, actually it was me... aaj tumhari chuti hai. It's time for duskey and duffer again. Tum donon ke liye ek chota sa suprise plan kiya tha. Come on guys mere mu kya dhek rahe ho chalo kuch plans banadho have a great time main tho ja rahi hoon aap logon ki zindagi se. she tried to move away but both Arjun and Saanj called her back, "Nahi! Nahi. Ek kaam karthe hai, mere ghar chalthe hai vahan par tho baitkar baath kar sakthe hai na? Maya tum bhi.

"Sure. That sounds perfect. Tume bhi Maya vahan par bait kar movie dheklo main aur duskey catch up karlenge. Teek hai. he added, Maya nodded shrugging, "Come.

When Maya entered the house with Arjun and Saanj, she looked around the house happily. It was decorated with a leather sofa set and a metal center glass table facing the TV as large windows allowed in the light. The kitchen was small but fictional set in a colour code of blue and grey. Looking around the place Maya smiled, "Wow this is nice place.

"Thank you main - vo... she stammered when the door opened again with Samay walking in, "Saanj kya hua kyun ghar aane ke liye bol rahi thi? Maya?

Maya's eyes fixed on the guy dressed in a dark maroon shirt with cream trousers and formal jackets. Combined with a low cut cream and maroon floral based tweeted vest and a similar cravat. The sights of him was enough for her eyes to flare up in anger and hurt. Takeing two steps she went closer and suddenly a loud slapping sound filled the room. "Meri zindagi ko barbadh karna kaafi nahi thi ki Saanj ko pakadne chale? Meri family ne kya bhigada tumhari, tumhari chachu ki harkathon ke bavajoodh Shipra ne tume sahara dhiya pyar dhiya phir bhi tumne..."

Rewriting it so please ignore

Takeing two steps she went closer and suddenly a loud slapping sound filled the room. "Meri zindagi ko barbadh karna kaafi nahi thi ki Saanj ko pakadne chale? Meri family ne kya bhigada tumhari, tumhari chachu ki harkathon ke bavajoodh Shipra ne tume sahara dhiya pyar dhiya phir bhi tumne..."

"Maya, Shipra ka bahoth bada ehesaan hai mere upar lekin issi liye kyunki vo mere chahu nahi mere papa the jaansi. Aur haan vo uski sex slave thi, bachkar aagayi thi lekin phir bhi muje apnaya jab zarurath padi. Ashwin ko bhi iski puri kabhar thi lekin tumhari aur meri beech koi fark nahi tha. Tum muje nafrath na karo issiliye ek chota sa juut bhola. That was it, I was thirteen, your parents were dead - were killed. Maya tume protect karne ke liye kaafi kuch kiya humlogone including a few lies lekin humare nazar main vo ghalath nahi tha. Humare liye sirf ekhi baath zaruri thi, humari jaansi zinda rahe. Tumhare liye dosth bana kaafi muskil thi, tumhari boj jithna kam kare uthna kam karne ki kosish kar rahe the.

"Aacha tho phir muje apni bisthar main kyun bulaya vo bhi thab jab meri Ashwin and Shipra jail par the? demanded Maya her voice going up and her voice also flaring up with her eyes tearing up. A single tear flowed down Samay's eyes as the moment of truth dawned upon all of them, "Kyunki usswaqth tumhari strong banna zaruri banchuki thi. You had to get out of our wing, they were out to get you jaansi.

Just then the doorbell rang shaking everyone off the situation for a moment, Maya snapped moving away from the situation tears filling her eyes, "Main dhekthi hoon.

When she opened the door there he stood clean shaved and a large smile on his face dressed in a white windbreaker and olive green jeans. A set of black ankle boots along with it, a gray backpack slung over one shoulder. A smile which faded when he saw her eyes filled with tears, "Kya hua ro kyun rahi ho? Duskey mili yahi bolkar tumne muje yahaan par bulaya. Address dhiya aur aab ro rahi ho?

"Dusky ek relationship main hai Aayan uss... uss Samay ke sath. she replied gripping him tightly around the waist hugging her tightly as tears flowed down her eyes. His face turning cold and fixed upon his friend and the man she was with now, "Andhar jakar baath kare? Koi seen nahi create karna chahatha hoon.

Pulling her inside he made her sit down on the sofa as Arjun still lost handed her a glass of water looking between her and Samay wondering what she was talking about. Aayan though demanded, "Saanj tume patha bhi hai ke yeah aadhmi kaun hai?

"Saab janthi hoon. Aur vho bhi jo tum aur Maya nahi janthe ho, lekin aab waqth aachuka hai ki sari sachai boldhiya jay. Maya main jo bolne wali hoon usko dhyan se suno. Please? Maya nodded as Arjun took the seat next to her on the sofa wrapping an arm tightly around her. Samay sat down a little further away on the dark maroon diwaan, almost laying back as the emotions took a toll over his body and mind. Saanj sat at his feet gently rubbing them as she finally began the story of Maya's life... the one she herself was not aware of.

"Maya just to review. Tume patha hai na ki Janvi aunty ki rape hui thi aur tumhari nani ko tumhari is duniya main aana bilkul basandh nahi thi? Maya nodded, sighing Saanj continued, both her speech and her massage on Samay's feet, "Lekin baath vahi par shuru nahi hui thi. There are a few things you do not know... and I am going to brief you on it. Maya tume patha hai na, Rakshika ke ke bare main?

"Kind of... nani ek thi. she replied, "Duffer Rakshika ek clan of women the jisko royals ke saath juda jathi thi thaki

"Kind of, nani ek thi. Maya replied, seeing a lot look on Arjun's face, "Rakshika temples se jude hue aurath the unko shadhi karne ki ijazath nahi thi. Sirf few temples aise the jahaan par rakshika ka isthimal kiya gayi thi. Usually temples which were built to satisfy a wrongful death. Unki zindagi kafi alag thi lekin ek waqth ke baadh vo bhas powerful bramins ki keeps bankar rekene lagi. Ma tho first generation thi humari us system se aur unki village se bahar aane vali apni family ke saath. Partition ne unko vo anoka mauka dhi chuki thi aur nani ne use liya lekin jab rape hua everything was tropped issiliye jab papa ne ma ko apnaya vo bhi thab jab une apni beta thi it was the biggest rebelion in those days... phir muje bhi ek normal hindu ladki ki sanskar dhekar bada kiya certainly not a rakshika types. Nanhi hated it.

"Understandable. Lekin ispar tumhari zindagi main kaunsi connection hai? Aayan asked suprised, "Kafi badi connection thi Maya did you know ki tumhari zindagi main aane ke baadh Arjun ne nearly five to six paid assassins ko udadhiya.

"WHAT? Yeah kab hua? demanded Maya, though there was absolutely no fear in her eyes, "Lets not go into the details all right. Duskey agar tum baki javab dhene ke liye thiyar ho tho?

"Science se shuru kare jaansi? Tumne genetic memory ke baare main patha hai na? Maya nodded at the quisiton and Saanj continued the story, "Ahh good tho dusri baath yeah hai ki astrology jithna ek statistical measurement hai uthna hi ek type of scince bhi hai.

"Following - please go ahead. Sharma boys, main tum donon ko vo baadh main samjathi hoon. she replied, Saanj sighed and continued the lecutre, "Maya tumne kabhi apni zindagi main Kiran ka naam suna?

"Kiran yeah kai bhar, actually kai bhar sun chuki hoon aur Sharma boys ko baadh main samjathi hoon... it's going to take a french meal to explain. Maya firmly replied looking at him, nodding Saanj continued, "Maya, Kiran ki followers ka benef hai ki vo vapas aasakthi hai, issiliye uski kuch spinal tissues ko store kiya uski ideas ki hisaab se aur jab tumhari mum aur dad paidha hue the, strangely it was... um... how do I say this...

"Maya Janvi aur Ashwin ko physically aur characteristically Kiran se kafi milthi thi. Snapped Samay from his spot in the diwan his eyes still closed, "More importantly Kiran was a product of their ancestors fusing.

"Sorry? asked Arjun, "Umm one from Ashwin's family and one from Janvi's family came together creating Kiran. Mum died in childbirth, father was heartbroken and Kiran ko ek aayurvedic doctor dosth ne raise kiya. You know what bahoth lambi kahaani hai. Don't ask. Back to you Saanj.

Samay though impatiently stepped up and finished the statement, "Yeah like I said, it was the same bloodline that was completing the circle after thousands of years. Everything had fit, so when Janvi aunty was impregnated. Aadhe development main hi tumhari andhar ek injection ke zaryie uski remains ko tumhari aandhar dala. They were actually very shocked when you turned out to be a complete woman at every single level.

"How is that bad? Aayan asked surprised, "They expected a transgender reborn as a transgender. Same in every way! Janvi aunty ko kudh nahi patha tha at least USS raath thak. Maya tume yaadh hai kaise Ashwin ko tume bachane ke liye apna kaam thak dhav par lagaya? Especially because you were born on the same day and time as Kiran. Unlogon ki faith ko kafi badadhiya, aur thab se tume kidnap karne ki koshish kar rahe the vo bhi kai bhar. Us dhin vo log thiyar nahi balki thai karke aagaye the iss bhar tume apne saath zarur lekar jayenge. Your parents fought to ensure you are not taken Maya and they were not the only ones.

Suddenly everything faded around her... before she knew the world around her had suddenly blacked out. The sound of manny calling her name before everything simply backed out... the memory of the terrible night she lost her parents dashed across her memory.

He looked terrified when he rushed inside straight to her bed... on the top floor. Shaking her urgently, "Maya baby, Maya baby.

"Uhh.. papa? she asked then took a glance around the room around her... sitting up simultaneously. The child's room was set neatly with everything two children would need starting with twin beds and a small cupboard. The wall was set with a large window and a long open cupboard with several draws waist down. The colour scheme though was not a typical girl/boy' thing but rare combination of dull mustard and bright orange on alternatives colours with neem leaves patterned - mustard on orange and orange on mustard ones. A similar pattern crept up through the open bookshelf fit with everything starting from stationary, art supply, school and higher education books and everyday reference work. The beds had been spread with a purple quilt set with large spots in white, yellow, black and silver all over it and a silver pillow cover she was gripping tightly as she slept... he thought was far from normal. His light gray and dark gray checked turtleneck sweater was splattered blood and black jeans too... His usually calm eyes were bloodshot as he picked her up, "Papa Papa khoon!

"Mera nahi bacha. Drink some water, go use the bathroom main app ke liye kuch warm clothes nikaldunga and we got to run all right. We have to run and we need to ensure you are safe. He added running a hand through her hair tears... when she returned he quickly changed her into a set of blue jeans and tshirt then tightly braided her hair so that it does not disturb her in any way instructing the whole time, "Humko bagna hoga bacha tumhari safety ke liye teek hai. Tumhari saara saman ispar hai. Keep it near you, humko jaana hoga! We don't have any time Maya.

Finally he helped her into a light set of white canvas shoes and sox. Finally he handed her a dark blue and white spotted kids backpack, Soon they were on the Maruti Susuki car speeding away... down the highway as the little girl was in the passenger seat of the car. The bag tightly bound to her by both the shoulder straps and the connected waist belt. Fear clenching her heart, as she came to know what happened, "Tumhari mum ki mauth ho chuki hai Maya. Om bhai sa par bhi kisi ne var kiya aur vo hospital main hai. Kuch bahoth bure log hai jo humare pariwar ko marna chahathe hai bache we are actually running away from them today. Bacha chahe kuch bhi hojay tume apne aap ko bachana hi hoga. You are most important for us bache... sirf aap aur Om bhai sa. Maya you have to save your self warna aap ki ma ka sacrifice bekar hojayega.

Listening to everything the little girl stayed silent... scared. Indeed right behind her were bikes and more than one. All with armed men... she still remembered the way at one point her father pushed her out of the vehicle with force bag and all in a blind spot within seconds... just five minutes later the riders shot ended up setting the car on fire. Had it not been for the clamping hand over her mouth she would have screamed and run towards him. Someone had picked her up and dumped her into the back of another car quickly... the gas already running. Before she knew it she was out again this time at the back and the bag was off her shoulder. She lay back on Ashwin's chest crying her eyes out as Shipra drove them away... They had previously little time before they figured that she was not in the car. The darkness had enveloped her they could not risk anything... that was when it happened... as they rushed out holding her hand tightly! That was when it happened... a large truck came speeding towards them. Shipra stood there on the side road, a car ready and running with security near her. As the minni truck came close and towards her it became clear - they were coming for her. The decision was quick, too quick, before the driver could get to her he pushed her out of the way... making both fall over. The force of it right onto the waiting security and the next thing she knew was the scream of Shipra and the splash of red near her. The night when she lost both her parents, Ashwin lost both his legs.

"Maya... Maya... the call came from a distance but it made her open her eyes finally, the memory had returned fully despite having the tendency to constantly pop up repeatedly throughout her life in parts. The reality of everything hit her and hard enough to hurt. "Sab meri vaje se hua tha na Arjun?

"Maya, jaan baath aise nahi hai, tumne kuch nahi kiya. he added, slowly stroking her hair away from her face, "Nahi Maya, tumne kuch nahi kiya. Tumhare saath galath hua hai, unlogon ka maana ki tum Kiran ki rebirth ho it's totally wrong.

"Lekin ithne saare log, issi aandh vishwash ko lekar kaise kar sakthe hai yeah saab? she asked, "Its not a faith Maya its a reality. Kai bhar iski proof hochuki hai lekin sirf hume nahi patha tha. Lekin unlogon ke iradhe uss mahan shakthi ko sirf se kinder karne ka nahi usko apni faidha ke liye isthimkal karna chahathe hai. Agar vo log tume aachai ke liye tho support zarur de sakte hai lekin unki iradhe kafi buri thi - they wanted to enslave you.

"Lekun kyun Arjun? she asked, tears filling her eyes. The truth of her ignorance shining through them, the hand that was on her face slid to her shoulder and the walls of celibacy Arjun had built for himself slowly began slipping. Beauty though trapped, he could no longer hide from his eyes, especially as she sighed and leaned on his shoulders wanting to cry. Instead of tears more words flowed out of her, "Unke iradhe aachi nahi hai Maya, issiliye tumhare papa ko behrehemi se marvaya, genetical memory and bio chemical modifications se ek aachi insaan ko evil genius bana sakthe hai! Tumhari zindagi bachane ke liye jo karvaya humne bahoth sare logon ki jaan bacharahe hai!

"Arjun tumne unmere liye hi marvana pada? Maya asked suddenly again her lips twitching and tears flowed down her eyes. "Marna pada tho tha babu lekin tumhhare liye nahi tumhari vajay se. Tumse shadhi karne se pehe hi muje yeah saab kuch patha tha Maya. Ashwin aur Shipra ko tho pehele se hi patha tha ki main tumse pyar kartha hoon. Thabi muje sare sach bathachuke the tumhare bare main aur tums shadhi karvan puri thara mera decition tha. Lekin aab meri pyari si babu ko na rest ki zarurath hai aise bathon ki nahi kuch kaogi? Char ghante se behosh thi aur lunch time bhi hochuka hai.

"Lunch khale bahoth bhuk lagi hai. Maya asked touching her stomach, "Chalo kuch khalethe hai jaani aur kathe kathe baath karthe hai, chalo.

"Paas main ek chota sa caffe hai vahan lekar chaltha hoon, chalo jaansi. Samay added taking her hand and pulling her up, Aayan suddenly voiced the question that was on his mind, "Tum bhar bhar Maya ko Jaansi kehekar kyun bula rahe ho?

"Actually Aayan it is jansi, ja par koi stress nahi hothi hai aur haan meri ghar ka naam hai. Maya replied, "Ghar ka naam?

"Haan vo kya hai na humare yahan hamesha potha yaa photi ka naam tho dadha aur dhadhi se jude hue the. Mere dhadhaji ka naam tha Shivshankar, aur Om bhai sa ka naam hai Shivyaay issiliye ghar par unko Om ka naam se jaane jathe the. Aur waise hi Rajiv ka ghar ka naam hai Samay actually Rajveer lekin unki mauth bahoth pehele hi hochuki thi jab Surya kaku sa kafi chote the. Issiliye Rajiv ka naam ithni close thi dhadu ke naam se aur ghar gha naam hai Samay vohi unke ghar ka nam bhi tha. Maya explained getting up, Samay smiled and corrected her, "Lekin muje Samay ka naam ithna pasandh hai ke apne naam ke aage use dhalkar sab ko vahi bulane ke liye kehetha hoon.

"Par kyun? Maya asked patting her cheeks Samay answered, "Kyunki yeah naam kudh Vishvyamaya dhadhi ne raka vaise hi tumhara naam unhone tume Maya ka naam dhe.

"Bahoth pyar kathe the kya tumhari dhadhi tume? asked Arjun looking between them, "Haan bahoth pyar karthe the tumse.

Samay wrapped his arm around Maya when Arjun wrapped an arm around Saanj as Aayan opened the door. "Kahaan hai yeah cafe?

Saanj pulled Maya by her hand saying, "Walkable distance hum chalthe hai bahar aaogi tho thoda sa aaram milega. Fresh air helps us a lot, chal.

The group unaware of the grave danger Maya was attracting from those who wanted her enslaved! Especially the man living in an apartment few streets away currently yelling, "Vo bach kaise sakthi hai? Kaise? Char maheen se plan aur ek minute main sab kuch jalakar rak kardhiya. Kiran ko wapas laane ke liye jo bhi khanra hoga usko main karvake hi rahunga chahe uske liye muje aur logon ke khoon hi kyun na karna padega lekin Maya meri bankar hi rahegi.

"Maya hi kyun? came a voice from behind the man...
